A perfect week - v2

A perfect week - v2


a gift we still treasure

a perfect week, moments

this blessing, the mountain

the chance, an opportunity

to spend that time together.


so precious in our memory

the years bleeding away

with our family you loved

sharing that space, that time,

on the mountain you loved.

In the arms of the mountain - v2

In the arms of the mountain - v2


years melted away

a week on your mountain

just up from the Blue Ox

spending time together

as one, our family.


held one more time

together, a family,

gathering on Sugarloaf

in the arms of the mountain

slopes we knew so well.


skiing together

old ways so familiar

smelling the wax, the cold,

heading for the slopes,

together, one more time.


gathering together

our families now gathered

around the fires, in the wind,

up on the mountain

that you loved so well.


a gift we still treasure

a perfect week, moments

this blessing, the mountain

the chance, an opportunity

to spend that time together.


so precious in our memory

the years bleeding away

with our family you loved

sharing that space, that time,

on the mountain you loved.

Forever is the Mountain - v2

Forever is the Mountain - v2


Through the thick haze of late Summer

the clear white starkness of mid-Winter

in the greens and bright colors

of Springtime and Autumn

the tapestry, the tableau, the palette

our story is ever changing, fluid,

as the seasons, the days,

as our journey unfolds.


Changing colors, feelings,

the scene may seem different

each day, each season, each moment,

but the Mountain remains constant

forever is the Mountain

eternal, unchanging, always

the Mountain is there, before us,

even when the Mountain is lost from our view.

Forever is the mountain

Forever is the mountain


Through the thick haze of late Summer

the clear starkness of mid-Winter

in greens and bright colors

of Spring, of Autumn

the tapestry, the tableau, the palette

is ever changing, fluid,

as the seasons unfold.


The scene may be different

changing colors, feelings,

each day, each season

but the Mount remains

forever is the mountain

forever, unchanging, eternal

even when lost from our view.

here on Ash Wednesday - v3

here on Ash Wednesday – v3


Here on Ash Wednesday

we gather in silence

whether together or apart

stilling ourselves, our bodies,

in sackcloth, in ashes;

We remember the journey

that led to the cross.


Here on Ash Wednesday

we share in the Passover

the meal Christ forever changed

with the new covenant,

his blood offering,

Christ’s sacrifice for us.


Here on Ash Wednesday

we receive a mark on the outside

whether together or apart;

May it be a symbol, a truth

of our change on the inside

as we journey in Lent

to Christ’s rugged cross.
